Hi All,

Working in IBM for 3 months now.
Current CTC is 18.75 LPA + 2.3L joining bonus.
I left Cognizant and my last drawn salary was 10.75 LPA.
I also had 2 othe offers:
Capgemini : 18.5 + 1.5 lpa
Techm: 17 + 1.5 lpa

I work as a SAP ABAP developer with 7 years experience. I chose IBM due to work life balance and exposure to SAP.

Kindly suggest if the decision was good or not

Stay around for about 1 to 1.5 years and change. IBM never gives a good hike. Work life balance is a myth you get the same in many other companies too.

I think based on the options you had IBM was a good choice both for the name and the comp.

Not bad

Why are you thinking about past. If you are not satisfied with your work in IBM then you can get more offers.

Just wanted to check if I took the right decision

you already took best decision because ibm is far better than capg and techm

Thanks was looking for this support

Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money?
